Читать книгу Thrill Me - Susan Mallery, Susan Mallery - Страница 6

Being the “mom” of an adorable, spoiled little dog, I know the joy that pets can bring to our lives. Animal welfare is a cause I have long supported. For me that means giving to Seattle Humane. At their 2014 Tuxes and Tails fund-raiser, I once again offered “Your Pet in a Romance Novel” as a prize.

In this book you will meet a wonderful beagle named Sophie. Her parents gave generously at the auction to have their adorable, inventive, sweet girl in this book.

One of the things that makes writing special is interacting in different ways with people. Some I talk to for research. Some are readers who want to talk characters and story lines, and some are fabulous pet parents. Sophie’s mom was so generous with her time. She told me stories about her girl, sent me a hysterically funny DVD and made her Sophie come alive. I hope I’ve done her justice in this book.

My thanks to Sophie and her parents and to the amazing people at Seattle Humane (SeattleHumane.org). Because every pet deserves a loving family.
